SIM card is PUK-locked??!!! Help!

Hi,
I just tried to change my sim password and tried it a few times and it locked me out of my phone. It goes to the lock screen and says call customer care. What happened? I can't access phone because it like a permanent lock.
Please help?

Define PUK.

This is actually normal behavior for all GSM phones. If you enter the incorrect PIN many times in succession, the SIM card will prevent further attempts and require a Pin Unlock Key. It's a security mechanism that has nothing to do with G1.

log in to your t-mobile account and it should tell you on there somewhere. no need to ring up customer care.

Its been on almost every cell since they have been out. 3 times your locked out.

haha, same happened to me!
T-Mobile has a non-default password for some reason on the new SIM cards being provided. After attempted 1234, 0123, 9876, the phone was locked out and I had to wait 40 minutes for customer service to throw me my damn PUK code.
The PUK code is NOT provided to you via the T-Mobile USA website. Only T-Mobile UK provides you with your PUK. It is some stupid security/law in effect.

As far as I could tell, RC7 had no option to type in a PUK code. If running that, you'll have to put the sim in another phone No idea about other releases though..

I had the same problem, I had to take my SIM and put it into my iPhone to unlock with the PUK I got off the AT&T website. I read somewhere you have to type in a combination of numbers on the dial-pad before it will let you enter it, I don't remember it but I remember most Motorola phones use the same code.

pin for UK is 1210 and PUK is on sim pack and we still get people coming in to my shop with a blocked sim. What can you do..........

thats a bit **** =/
i suppose it makes sense, but only if someone steals your phone, you have a pin code, and the person somehow knows your log in details for the t-mobile site. which is unlikely at best

I know its a old thread, but since its on the google search result, i'll post the solution here:
from emergency dialer type: **05*PUK HERE*NEW PIN*REPEAT NEW PIN#

Thank you for that! Customer service for my provider had no idea what to do for my g2. You just saved me. (heaping all sorts of good phone mojo towards you)

Activation and unlocking an new verizon Droid 3 in brazil

hello everyone!
that´s the first time ever I´m creating a threat at this forum but that´s not my first time here at all..
I´ve been using XDA since I got my HTC Tytn II back in 2008 hahaha since then i´ve changed phones lots of times, and never got any problem to find the resolution of all my problems at all.
But know for the first time I got myself in a situation where I don´t see anyone having the same kind of problem.
Well , firt of all : I live in brazil and of course we don´t have verizon here.
Two : I got a Droid 3 from Ebay.com today and comes with all the manuals, sim card, instructions card and all the stuff I should need to activate the phone.
I know it´s locked to be used only in verizon, I´m totally ok to buy a unlocking code from the websites, and I don´t intend to use verizon´s sim card over here.
My carrier here is TIM, and that´s the one I´ll be using.
The problem is.. I can´t even get in to the android´s home screen! the phone ask me to do an activation first... where I click the icon "activation" and all I got is an "busy" line signal . there is no place for tapping IMEI unlock code, there is no way of getting in to the system´s configuration to root it , use wi-fi... I mean.. I can´t use the android system functionality at all!
Please someone gimme some light!
I don´t know what to do!
Any help will be valid

When at the first screen tap starting from the top left, top right, bottom right, bottom left. That will bypass the activation

I don´t see a way of doing what you say... Or maybe I didn´t got it..
Ill show what are the options I have

}
that´s the first screen I have.
If i click the green droid it goes to the second screen :
Where I can now click in BACK or Activate
After clicking the activate it goes here :
and now I can only hear a line signal where nothing happens
Any ideias?

At the welcome to Droid3 screen it is a `hidden` way to bypass it. Just below the status bar left then right, and above select language then above emergency call.
300!!

Try this
go to youtube
and search for
Skipping Motorola Droid Activation --- No Contract Cell Phones
Have fun!

thanks guys! but now...
Well I did by passed the activation screen, but now I´m having troubles to unlock it
By mistake I tried several times to insert my SIM PIN code in a screen believing it was right... when actually think that was the unlocking screen...
There was no numbers saying the attempts I have left , so I tried 3 or 4 times different passwords then I sadly got the "subsidy" locking screen.
That is freaking me out! i´ve reading a lot around here and some other forums ppl saying I can only unlock it with a special verizon code now once I got the subsidy lock....
So I was wondering if maybe I could trust someone here to call verizon from U.S and give my IMEI number...
Of course I´ll check first with the ebay seller if he could do it for me...
What you guys think? any suggestions ?

[Q] Problem with new SIM in an unlocked phone

Hello,
My i9001 has served me well for over a year and a half, and with 2 different mobile operators (I've had my current one for over a year), but now I want to change, got my new sim 2 days ago and here's the problem : my phone shuts off with my new sim approx. 30 seconds after i've entered the pin code. Had the same problem during summer, it wouldn't take my foreign sim card (for the country i was staying in) and would shut off 30 seconds after i'd typed the pin. The new sim works well on another phone (old nokia). And my phone works well with my old sim.
I used to have CM10 (before that, I used EhndroixII and III). I tried to flash another baseband, then I erased data and flashed back to stock (I9001XEFKP1).
If it is of any use, I'm in France and have used Sosh (Orange) for a year (before that I used Leclercmobile (SFR) for like a month), and I'm now changing to B&You (Bouygues).
The SIM is unlocked as I bought it on Amazon and the seller was German (if that's of any relevance). Also, after flashing stock rom my former SIM card doesn't work.
Also as I was (again) trying to reboot hoping that it would work, the old sim began not to work either (shut off after 30 sec)
Thanks for your help

This would happen due to following reasons.
1) USIM Lock, its found in your settings>locations & security
factory password may be 0000 or 00000 (not certain) IF you had not changed it yourself
2. Anti theft Apks...if you had installed one or using antivirus software with anti theft security ...in order to protect your phone they will lock your sim card to prevent theft.
3. Network SIM lock ...IF phone has been reported stolen, networks can blacklist users of that SIM

Thank you for your reply, when I put any different network sim into the phone it shows no network unlock notification and the network did not work, maybe the SIM unlock failed with the method mentioned in XDA forum ,in another words ,the halfway unlock solution applied to my M8, is there any relock method to the network?

I will pay $20 if anyone can help me solve this problem ( input PIN or unlock SIM)

I have the same problem with a sprint HTC one m8

Even if mobile is locked. I can find network available. But mobile can not register on that network without unlock.
Here is the code to find unlock status of htc *#7465625#.
Factory reset htc and then insert other sim card.
This code #7465625*638*# get network unlock menu. But it work on fewer model of htc.

Question Sim card detected but no network connection

I just bought this phone about 2 days, but it has poor signal, and now it cannot receive any signal with no network connection indicator, I even tried using e-sim but its just the same. I already tried factory reset, network reset, flash stock firmware via odin but no luck. Any help?

maybe it is just a problem with some sort of connection for the e-sim/physical thing, what is the carrier? please do not post your imei
also try turning airplane mode on and off

Welcome to XDA
Maybe be a bad sim card.
Sim cards can be damaged by ESD, handle it like a stick of ram. Never touch the contacts and at least discharge yourself by touching an earth ground before handling it.
Sim cards are good when they leave the manufacturer, a failure almost always is due to ESD damage afterward by the installer... just like ram sticks.
P
Access point names misconfiguration.
If it's a carrier phone like AT&T they will help you troubleshoot it.

I can see 2 issues here: 1. You have dud sim or 2. You didn't pay your telephone bill...if it's 2, you'd still get a connection. Have you tried using a sim from another provider?

Is it a brand new phone or second hand? If the latter are you sure it's not stolen and network blocked? The fact the esim also doesn't work would suggest this could be the case as it likely rules out a hardware problem with the sim or simcard slot.

Just an FYI, but I believe that this issue is tied to Samsung's latest update for the S21U. I pushed it through this morning and now whenever I disable my WiFi, I lose my cellular connection for about 10 minutes and only get it back after waiting, doing a reboot or turning WiFi back on...
Very strange...

If you bought it from official channels, raise a ticket for support with your Carrier or Seller. If you got it off e-bay or by other means, go back to the source and try to ensure it's not a stolen and IMEI blocked device. There are a lot of stolen phones floating around in the second hand market.
If even a clean ODIN flash isn't working, it's unlikely it's a user fixable problem so you'll most likely have to go to the service centre for this.

Try connecting to 3g/2g instead
should work if you have bad 4g connection in your country
Just by settings---> connections --->mobile network --> than change from 5g/4g... to 3g/2g and see if it improves
